Bahrain Victorious

After adding the word ‘Victorious’ to their moniker two years ago, few expected this Bahraini WorldTour outfit to live up to their new name and be mightily successful at cycling’s top-level.

While they haven’t established themselves as the best team on the men’s WorldTour, they have certainly not disappointed. Last season saw them win big at Milan-San Remo thanks to a dropper post and nerves of steel from Matej Mohorič, while Dylan Teuns delivered a victory at La Flèche Wallonne for the first time in their history. Sadly, the team witnessed the departure of Sonny Colbrelli in 2022 after the sprinter was forced to retire due to a heart condition.

After a breakthrough season, though, British all-rounder Fred Wright could step into the former Paris-Roubaix winner’s shoes when it comes to picking up wins in both the Classics and Grand Tours.

As Bahrain McLaren we are excited to build on that legacy, and to work with a variety of technical partners, including Merida, to write a new chapter of success.

“McLaren’s racing pedigree is founded on decades of performance in the most technologically advanced sport in the world. We now look forward to applying this knowledge to elite cycling, for the benefit of our riders, our partners and fans of this exciting and rapidly growing sport.

Bahrain Championship marks 13 year return to the DP World Tour

Bahrain, GCC: The DP World Tour is making a long-awaited return to the Kingdom of Bahrain for the first time in 13 years with the Bahrain Championship, set to take place at Royal Golf Club from February 1-4, 2024.

The announcement of the tournament, which will be held under the patronage of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa , was marked by a special signing ceremony by His Highness Sheikh Khaled bin Hamad Al Khalifa alongside DP World Tour Chief Executive Keith Pelley .

“We are pleased to host the Bahrain Championship on the DP World Tour in the Kingdom of Bahrain,” said His Highness. “This championship, which forms part of what is an elite professional golf tournament series, is organised in cooperation between the Royal Golf Club, the General Sports Authority, the Bahrain Olympic Committee, and the Bahrain Tourism and Exhibitions Authority.

“Golf is a sport that receives major support and sponsorship from His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, the King of the Kingdom of Bahrain. His Majesty is a passionate practitioner and enthusiast of this sport, which reflects His Majesty's great interest in and support for sports and athletes. His Majesty is the foremost athlete in the Kingdom of Bahrain.

Commitment to supporting various sports

“We take pride in hosting this international championship, where a constellation of professional players will compete at the Royal Golf Club. Organising this event is part of our continued commitment to supporting various sports, including golf, which is one of the most important sports at the global level. We have full confidence in the success of this championship, thanks to the cooperation and integration between various civil and governmental entities in presenting it in the best possible manner.

“Through embracing this championship, we aim to elevate Bahrain's position and showcase its capabilities in hosting sporting events. We also want to emphasise our commitment to the development of golf in the Kingdom. We wish all participants continued success and prosperity.”

Paul Casey last winner in Bahrain

The last time the DP World Tour was in the Kingdom of Bahrain was in 2011, when Englishman  Paul Casey came through what he called "one of the toughest battles I've ever had" to end 20 months without a victory by winning the inaugural Volvo Golf Champions on the Colin Montgomerie  designed Royal Golf Club course in Bahrain.

“We are thrilled to welcome back the DP World Tour to Bahrain,” said His Excellency Faris Mustafa Al Kooheji , Secretary General of Bahrain Olympic Committee. “Golf is a game, not only of great skill, but one which showcases the highest levels of sportsmanship, fairness and etiquette and one which the Kingdom is proud to support and encourage.

The overall winner plus a spot for the leading Bahraini amateur will be awarded at this prestigious amateur event. Additionally, the leading Bahraini as well as the winner of the King Hamad Trophy, played November 23-25, will get the opportunity of a lifetime to tee it up alongside the DP World Tour professionals in the Bahrain Championship.

Opportunities born out through an initiative between the Bahrain Olympic Committee and the DP World Tour to give Bahraini players the chance to tee it up against the worlds best players.

Keith Pelley, Chief Executive of the DP World Tour, said: “I would firstly like to thank His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince and Prime Minister of Bahrain, Highness Sheikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa and His Highness Sheikh Khaled bin Hamad Al Khalifa for welcoming us to the Kingdom of Bahrain as we launch a new event on our International Schedule.

“The Bahrain Championship will mark the DP World Tour’s return to the Kingdom of Bahrain for the first time since 2011 and helps form part of our International Swing of events.

“We are excited to return to Bahrain in February as we continue to showcase our diverse array of tournaments in different countries and cultures across the world.”

Prize fund of $2.5 million

With just over 100 days to go until the event, which has a prize fund of $2.5 million, the Royal Golf Club course has undergone extensive upgrades, supported by Osool Asset Management and Bahrain Mumtalakat Holding Company (Mumtalakat), the sovereign wealth fund of the Kingdom of Bahrain, headed by His Excellency Sheikh Abdulla bin Khalifa Al Khalifa . Among the key enhancements is the upgrading of a number of greens on the front nine to ensure it is in prime condition to welcome the elite stars of the DP World Tour.

“We are delighted to have been chosen as the host venue for the DP World Tour’s visit in 2024," said Captain Waleed Al Alawi , Chairman of the Royal Golf Club. "This tournament will shine a spotlight on Bahrain's sports scene and will further establish the Royal Golf Club as a leading golfing destination in the region. We are excited to welcome the world's top golfers to our esteemed club and showcase the beauty of our country."

Dr. Nasser Qaedi , CEO of Bahrain Tourism and Exhibitions Authority, added: "We seize this opportunity to express our sincere gratitude and appreciation to His Highness Sheikh Khaled bin Hamad Al Khalifa, First Deputy Chairman of the Supreme Council for Youth and Sports (SCYS), Chairman of the General Sports Authority (GSA), and President of the Bahrain Olympic Committee (BOC) for His Highness’s limitless support and relentless efforts for the sports development in the Kingdom, particularly attracting major international sports events in Bahrain.

"The DP World Tour comes in line with the Tourism Strategy (2022-2026) objectives to quadruple inbound tourism and increase the contribution of the tourism sector to the national economy, focusing on sports and recreation tourism as one of the main pillars of the strategy to strongly position Bahrain as the leading regional hub for the tourism and entertainment industries.

Team Bahrain McLaren will be overseen by the highly respected Rod Ellingworth, in the new role of Team Principal.

As Team Bahrain Merida the team achieved an impressive number of race wins over three years, including Grand Tour podiums in its first season – the first team ever to achieve such a result in its debut year. Together with its foundation partner, leading bike brand Merida, the team built a strong technical and rider line-up, and multiple victories – including notable break throughs at Milano-San Remo and Il Lombardia, as well as numerous stage race and Grand Tour wins.

They join Brent Copeland who moves to the new position of Operations Director, and Charlie Pym, who joins the team as Marketing Director.

John Allert, Joint Managing Director of Team Bahrain McLaren commented: “This is a great moment in the story of our team – joining forces with Bahrain World Tour Cycling Team to challenge the conventions of a sport we love and respect is exciting for everyone involved. We hope to give cycling’s passionate fans something new to cheer – this is a team built for tomorrow, with a great respect for the past. McLaren will bring technology to the team, a culture of continuous improvement, dynamic marketing and innovation forged in the most technically demanding sport in the world – F1. However, this is a phenomenally competitive sport, and we don’t underestimate the challenges nor the strength of our competition.”

Team Bahrain McLaren welcomes a number of new, industry leading partners to the World Tour. Joining the team’s technical bike partner, Merida, and Bahrain’s national oil company Bapco, are premium British performance apparel brand Le Col, as official race clothing partner, and Muc-off, the innovative cleaning and lubricant brand. Super luxury watch brand Richard Mille enters cycling for the first time, as does respected global news broadcaster CNBC.

Team Bahrain McLaren will also be working with a number of pro cycling’s most impressive technical partners – including leading edge helmet and eyewear brand Rudy Project, premium race shoe brand Sidi, cycling luggage innovator Scicon and Elite trainers.

Milan Erzen, co-founder of Team Bahrain Merida and Joint Managing Director of Team Bahrain McLaren commented: “Today is a great moment for the entire team. We are indebted to the Kingdom of Bahrain for the support and belief it has had in this team right from the beginning of our journey in 2016. As we start this new and exciting chapter, we look forward to further promoting the benefits of our great sport to the Bahrain community, and giving them, as well as all our international fans and partners, plenty to cheer about in 2020.”

This year, just four World Tour teams have turned up in the shape of BORA - hansgrohe, Team dsm-firmenich PostNL, Astana Qazaqstan Team and Alpecin - Deceuninck so this will open up opportunities for some of the smaller teams to score a big victory in this prestigious race.

Presidential Cycling Tour of Turkey 2024 stages

The eight stage tour starts with a predominantly flat 135km around the city of Antalya to provide opportunity number one for the big sprinters before starting its journey westwards along the coast line. 

Stage two from Kemer to Kas is a much longer 190km and with a couple of lumps near the start and a sizeable climb 60km from the finish it could see a much more attacking race.

Stage three from the popular resort of Fethiye to Marmaris is a very hilly affair but maybe not hilly enough to get rid of the sprinters who could have their day again at the finish.

There are two classified climbs on stage four including a second category ascent after 94km to shake things up so it is likely a much smaller group will make it into Bodrum to contest the finish.

Stage five between Bodrum and Kusadasi is lumpy again but the climbs are smaller so the pendulum again swings in favour of the fast men, although they will be made to work for it, especially over the final peak with 30km left to race. 

Stage six is the queen stage with a mountain top finish at Manisa. This 20km climb takes the riders up above 1000m altitude and will be pivotal in deciding the outcome of the general classification.

Stage seven has just one minor lump just before half way before an absolutely pan flat run to the line and then the race ends with stage eight in and around the bustling city of Istanbul.

Stage 1 | Sunday April 21 , Antalya - Antalya, 135km

Stage 2 | M0nday April 22 , Kemer - Kaş, 190.4km

Tour de Romandie: Brandon McNulty takes comfortable win on stage 3 time trial

Magnus Sheffield (Ineos-Grenadiers) in distant second as Ayuso takes overall lead

How it Unfolded

US Champion Brandon McNulty (UAE Team Emirates) put his stamp on the stage 3 time trial, winning the 15.5km race against the clock in 20:06 at the Tour de Romandie .

"It was nice. I didn't know what to expect after the last few days. I had a good ride, and maybe I was a bit lucky with the weather. It's nice to have a win," said McNulty, who was an early start under dry conditions that then turned to rain in the last half of the event.

"I was lucky to be in the dry, and it's a bit strange because you don't know if you were actually the fastest, but always happy with a win."

His fellow countryman Magnus Sheffield (Ineos-Grenadiers) was a distant second, finishing the time trial 13 seconds slower than McNulty.

It was a good day for UAE Team Emirates as McNulty's teammates Felix Großschartner finished in third place at 15 seconds down and Juan Ayuso in fourth at 21 seconds down, taking the overall race lead in Oron.

"Now we obviously need to defend because tomorrow will be a tough day," McNulty said. "We look forward to defending the jersey now."

Ayuso now leads the overall classification by seven seconds ahead of Ilan Van Wilder (Soudal-QuickStep) and 10 seconds ahead of Aleksandr Vlasov (Bora-Hansgrohe).

The race heads into the mountains for the queen stage 4 on Saturday, a 160km race from Saillon to Leysin.

The third stage at the Tour de Romandie was a 15.5km time trial that started and finished in Oron with a loop that offered a gentle rise on the way out to the mid-route (7.9km) time check and a predominantly downhill back into Oron. Although the event started under dry conditions, the rain rolled in for the second half of the race, making the roads slippery and dangerous for the late starters.

McNulty was an early starter, setting the benchmark for the rest of the riders with the fastest opening time, 20:06.

In the first half of the starting order, few riders came close to McNulty's time until his teammate Felix Großschartner finished with 20:21. Großschartner slotted in behind McNulty and jumped Johan Price-Pejtersen (Bahrain-Victorious) down to third.

The finishing order reshuffled behind McNulty again when his compatriot Sheffield stormed over the line with a new best runner-up time of 20:19, but still 13 seconds slower than McNulty.

Racing conditions worsened as the time trial progressed, with rain and slippery roads affecting the later starters and many of the general classification favourites.

Quick times came in from Bruno Armirail (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale) at 20:29, Benjamin Thomas (Cofidis) at 20:38, and Thymen Arensman (Ineos-Grenadiers) at 20:43, but it increasingly appeared that none would come close to McNulty's time.

UAE Team Emirates' GC hopeful Ayuso started the day in seventh place overall, but he crossed the line with the fourth-fastest time of 20:27, which put him in a position to take the overall classification lead.

Also in the hunt for the GC, Carlos Rodríguez (Ineos-Grenadiers) finished with a time of 20:34 and moved up ten spots to fourth overall, while Vlasov finished in 20:36 and moved up to third and Van Wilder with the same time but moved up to second overall.

Australian Champion Luke Plapp (Ineos-Grenadiers) - spotted riding a brand news Giant Trinity TT bike - slipped from third place overall to seventh, finishing the time trial in 21:05. Likewise, Andrea Vendrame (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale), who posted a time of 21:41, slipped from second to 15th overall.

Thibau Nys (Lidl-Trek), the previous day's stage winner and overnight leader, was the last rider out on the course. While he looked comfortable closing out the event under the rainy conditions, his time of 21:44 wasn't enough to keep the yellow jersey.
